Some people say Honor in EVE is a myth. Some people say that EVE is a place where no one can be trusted. Some people say that there is no friendship between æRedsÆ.
Firstly let me say this: Honor, Trust, and Friendship are things that I have witnessed first hand with Firmus Ixion. Among enemies there are none that I would call more honorable then FIX.
For as long as I can remember FIX have been an alliance that we have been in constant conflict with. We have shared more fights then I can count. We have been in some of the most volatile and explosive conflicts to light the face of EVE.
But I also remember my time from well before that. I was still learning the ropes of EVE and was just another noob. Over 3 years ago I stumbled into a FIX gate camp while traveling to some random system to pick up some trade stuff. I had my fancy +2 implants and a mwd fitted frigate. I still remember the FIX camp killing me. I was in shock and remember contacting the guy who podded me. He told me I was red to them which came as a big shock. Surprised I explained that my corp was a small corp that didnÆt get involved in 0.0 affairs and we shouldnÆt be red. Within 5 min the corp standings were corrected and I was reimbursed for the implants and the frigate.
This stranger who didnÆt know me went out of his way to help me and correct an insignificant wrong. That left an impression that to this day still sits in my heart. He could have ignored me but he trusted me and he helped me.
The pilots of FIX are, for the most part, good guys. We are enemies but we are also friends. I hope that remains a fixed constant in EVE. For all who should care, FIX as an alliance has thus far withstood the test of time. I hope, and I say this with all honesty, that FIX will still be standing when EVE ends.
Among æRedsÆ there are no others who I would say this to. Each alliance has a spirit and I hope that the spirit of FIX remains what it has always been: Integrity, Honor, Stubbornness, Resilience, and Faith.
From the Realm of the Drunkards I give Firmus Ixion a o/ of Respect. Hopefully our future will still see one another as friends and rivals. Until then, see you in space for some pew pew.
Thundirr out.
